Rare and unusual plants for the avid gardener!
We are a small specialist nursery, located in Brentwood
Bay on Vancouver Island's Saanich Peninsula. We grow mainly perennials
and roses. We propagate and grow perennials from seed and divisions
from the gardens of ourselves and friends, and from across the world.
We are not a mail order nursery and we do not ship plants.
The main objective of this site is to help and educate
anyone who is interested in plants, especially those plants that
will grow in the Pacific Northwest in our wonderfull and exciting
climate that ranges from zones 7 to 9 (in a good year). Every now
and then we get a nasty snap like the night in November 2006 when
everything was so wet and drainage nonexistent and then it suddenly
froze - a definite zone 9 killer.
Supply is sometimes limited as some plants are very
slow to propagate, especially those that can be done only by division.
Because of this, we have many varieties in quantities too small
to list. If there is a particular plant you are looking for, do
not hesitate to ask. We may have it.
We also carry some shrubs and trees, again trying
for the not so common ones.
A very large selection of roses is available, mainly
Old Roses, English roses, climbers, and modern shrubs. Please feel
free to print the lists from this web site.
We do our best to send plants that are true to name.
Some of the books we use as a reference are:
The RHS Index of Garden Plants
Perennials (Rix, Phillips)
Roses (Peter Beales)
English Roses (David Austin)
